Question: Answered & Verified by Expert
A ray of light passes from a medium \( A \) having refractive index \( 1.6 \) to the medium \( B \) having refractive index \( 1.5 \). The value
of critical angle of medium \( A \) is
PhysicsRay OpticsJEE Main
Options:
  • A \( \sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{16}{15}\right) \)
  • B \( \sin ^{-1} \sqrt{\frac{16}{15}} \)
  • C \( \sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) \)
  • D \( \sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{15}{16}\right) \)

The correct answer is: \( \sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{15}{16}\right) \)

As the law of refraction we have,

sinicsin90=1.51.6,

where ic is the critical angle.

sinic=1516

ic=sin-11516
